Crumbed Tuna and Vegetable Patties

I just love these little tuna and vegetable patties. They are a fast and versatile little meal packed full of nutritional goodness. So tasty, you can make them with or without the tuna, melt cheese on top, eat them hot or cold and they are great in lunch boxes as a sandwich alternative. You can make these gluten free if you use gluten free bread crumbs.

Harry devours these, so I always have a batch in the freezer.

Nutrition Note: Canned tuna and salmon are great pantry staples and are low in mercury, perfect for making a meal in minutes for your little ones.

Hi Claire, as the veggies are mashed together they should be absolutely fine without the egg (particularly if you use potato/sweet potato). You could always use a tablespoon of your daughters regular milk or water if you thought it necessary. Hope that helps, Ax

Hi Nicola,
Both options you have suggested for freezing are OK. Personally I prefer to make up the mixture (including the egg), forming into the patties and then freezing before cooking. I then simply defrost in the fridge overnight and cook the next day. You can cook and then freeze however you will need to ensure they are reheated properly and may be more likely to dry out. happy cooking and we hope you enjoy them! Jx
